Overview
About Me
Hello friend 🐘
I left my home country Canada in January 2020 and I've been travelling the world ever since, mostly thanks to Couchsurfing.
For the rest of the year I'll be chilling on a beach in Sri Lanka then heading to South East Asia in early 2025. Let's meet up along the way! 🌏
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I see Couchsurfing as an opportunity to enrich my life and the lives of my fellow travelers through shared resources, comradery, and spirit of adventure 🏄♀️

Music, Movies, and Books
I love stand up comedy and comedy podcasts. My favourite comedians include Louis CK, Anthony Jeselnik, Annie Lederman, Neal Brennan, Ali Siddiq, Sam Morril, Theo Von... the list goes on and on.
One series/human that has really impacted me is Parts Unknown by Anthony Bourdain. I can recommend his book Kitchen Confidential as well as the following non-fiction works:
📖 Non-Violent Communication by Marshal B. Rosenberg
📖 Cosmos by Carl Sagan
📖 Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan
📖 The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
📖 Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
I can also recommend anything written by Yuval Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Pollan, Katy Bowman, and Jared Diamond.

What I Can Share with Hosts
My Couchsurfing hosts can look forward to my sense of humour and inquisitive disposition. I love to go for walks, cook vegan food, and I am happy to help out my host in any way I can. If you want to practice your English, French, or Spanish I would love to be your conversation partner. I am responsible, trustworthy, and will treat you and your home with the highest respect and gratitude 🙏
Om Shanti~
